Been lurking for a while, this was a good opportunity to come out of the shadows -- I'm here is anyone has questions, queries or even special sourcing requests - We have access to a lot more than currently listed on the site

I'm busy working on securing some more stock - hopefully we can bring back the same deal in a week or two for thems that missed out this time around :)

Not sure if this will work and not sure if anyone does this, but perhaps try this: You tell us that if you can get x amount of people for product y, then you could give it to us at price z; I'm sure the discount will be larger compared against a usual "daily deal". Only once you have x amount of committed people, do you go out and get the product from the suppliers. Of course the waiting time will be a little longer but if the price is right, you never know.

The problem with negotiating prices on specific (and especially on newer) products is that the margin on most electronics / hardware is paper thin - both for the retailer and for the local distributor - the volume would need to be absolutely massive to negotiate a really large discount (I'm talking "ship in a whole container" big) - most of the time when you see a major special, someone somewhere in the supply chain is taking a mammoth knock...

That said, will continue working to bring you the best deals I possible can.

Welcome Loot.co.za!

Btw, love the "economy courier R35" option for delivery. Won't ever do post office related stuff again as much as possible and "normal" courier usually more expensive, and then I just order everything from takealot.

That probably won't happen. CaH isn't currently distributed to retail/online stores. It is only sold by the makers themselves, either on their site or via Amazon marketplace. So, you'll have to look at Ebay or an Amazon import service, like Raru have, if you want to buy it.

You can always make it yourself, though. Just get the free pdf from their site and go to a store that will print it on cardstock, and then use their guillotine to cut the cards. If you go to boardgamegeek, you can find the pdfs for the expansions, which are also free under a creative commons license afaik.
